This results in a jump from 345bhp and 470Nm to 370bhp and 510Nm of torque.

Ford of Britain chairman and managing director Andy Barratt says it's significant that the last RS of the current generation Focus will be specifically for the UK.

Performance figures weren't quoted, but there should be very little difference than that listed for a stock RS with the Mountune pack added - a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.5 seconds and a 266 km/h top whack.

Just like the previous "Edition" versions of the RS, the Heritage Edition comes with the Quaife limited slip diff, but it also gets a bit more power.

Ford's local division has confirmed the Heritage Edition will only be sold in the United Kingdom, meaning we'll have to make do with the remainder of the RS Limited Editions - which are listed at $56,990 before on-road costs. "This latest model is the best RS we've ever produced, so it seems a fitting tribute as we approach its 50 anniversary".
